Welcome Back

Adetan Opemipo

So much has changed since the last time I was here, which was four years ago. I personally have changed during that period. I have allowed myself see the world through a different scope and I have come to so many conclusions and standards which I have been living by. I may not be your best writer or favourite blogger in the world but I sure am going to make you enjoy every second you spend on the website as from now. I have decided that this blog as from now will be dedicated to reviews. And by reviews, I mean print and media. It most usually would be print, especially science and engineering related topics.
Soon, I would be a graduate student in a University which I’m not going to mention is location but, it is a huge deal for me and I’m going to be involved in a lot of research paper writing, article writing, literature reviews and presentations. I might as well start from now by giving you a tip of the iceberg the type of researcher I am. I would be open to criticism as well because I am going to be doing quite a lot of reasonable and constructive criticism in my reviews which I think is healthy.
This is all I can say for today. Expect my first book review on this blog before the weekend runs out.
By the way, you should check out my Instagram account.
Best wishes. Cheers!

The Last Black Unicorn: A Review

Opemipo Adetan Author: Tiffany Haddish The Last Black Unicorn by  Tiffany Haddish is an autobiography of the author, filled with so many comic stories and moments of sobriety and candour. The author portrays the incredibly harsh life she lived previously and amid her ascent to fame. Every day she lived seemed to be a battle due to the maltreatment she suffered from her mother who loved her but was mentally deranged and the various beaus she had. The author employed a very interesting use of language in the book which would be considered a little bit ghetto in the corporate world, but it wouldn’t go without notice that the author herself stated many times in the book that she could not read until ninth grade in high school. However, the diction enabled the writer convey her message in the clearest and most explicit manner possible. The rawness of the language seemed to connect the mind of the reader with the endless plights of the author. Furthermore, it is clear that t...

The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena

Mariam Constant How una dey now? Just kidding, how are you all doing? I am Oladele Bukola Mariam and i am here to give a review of a very interesting novel which I came across, and I read it and finished in a day. Wow, it was so interesting that I burnt my mum's soup. The book I would be reviewing is titled The Couple's Next Door, which is written by Shari Lapena and this book is outstanding. I would love you guys to sit and relax as we embark on this journey together (laughs)... The Couple Next Door’ had me gripped right from the very beginning. It essentially follows the disappearance of Marco and Anne’s baby daughter Cora, who is taken from her bed one night whilst the couple attend a dinner party next door. The couple are racked with guilt, and as the investigation continues, more and more secrets and betrayals are revealed… The narrative is told in the third-person and follows the experiences of Anne, Marco, Detective Rasbach and Jennings, the couple’s next do...

An American Marriage by Tayari Jones

Mariam Constant Ours was a love story, the kind that’s not supposed to happen to black girls anymore,” says Celestial when she recalls how she and Roy met. But then their story changes, becoming a tale of injustice, black incarceration, and interrupted lives. It is what becomes of Celestial and Roy even though they have everything going for them. Celestial is a doll maker, and Roy is a businessman. They have been married one year when Roy is incarcerated for a crime he didn’t commit. Then it’s no longer love that shapes and molds their marriage, so much as Roy’s imprisonment. Full disclosure: Although I am not black, and I have not served jail time for crimes I didn’t commit, I was once married to a man who was incarcerated for several years. I understand what that does to a relationship. Just like Celestial, I met another man while my husband was in jail. And yes, dear reader, I married him. There are so many threads to a story like this, but author Tayari Jones does...
